i'm having an issue with the pup-volume-monitor. it's not refreshing. if i plug in a usb stick...i have to logout/restart x for it to appear in thunar. same procedure to make it go away after unplugging it.

Running as user spot seems impossible unless you do this changes:
open file /etc/passwd and change home folder for spot from /root/spot to /opt/spot
Then make his home folder and set ownership:
mkdir /opt/spot
chown spot:users /opt/spot
su spot
Now firefox will run as user spot, but will look ugly, and no way to change theme
with lxappearance.

Download locale.alias.gz, remove false gz extension and copy this file to /usr/share/locale
then open /etc/locale.gen, uncomment
fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_FR ISO-8859-1
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
then in terminal run locale-gen.
Open /etc/profile and add this

1.Building tixati from AUR works fine.
Is there a similar way to download a package with pacman, Have it stored locally
and installed with pacman -U.

For example I want to download firefox and dependencies and install them with
pacman from local files?

I can download firefox with
pacman -Syw firefox --cachedir .

*EDIT*
I found out that I could get all with
pacman -Syd firefox --cachedir .

But how do you install it with pacman in a easy way?

2.Tried the offered solution on tor browser bundle. It bypasses not running as root problem,
When I figured out I had to start up localhost it runs to
Bootstrap 50% loading relay descriptors then
it hangs. Anyone come across this problem before?

3. With devx loaded I get a file exist conflict(sqllite?) when installing firefox. I just removed the conflicting files. Is this the correct procedure or can you resolve conflicts any other way?

4. How do you configure touchpad? I miss two finger scrolling.
cannot find /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

(it is very important for people working with your new *.iso: we try to make more interesting things with it but can't compare our efforts with the original : 20 MB and more depending only from squash method, it is more than we can thing about!)

@Scooby: sqlite is inside development sfs, you don't need to install it.
See if pacman recognize it as installed with pacman -Ss sqlite. If you need
to store packages locally they are in folder /var/cache/pacman, just move
them somewhere.

I can verify that.
The problem is the included udev-175.
Adding my udev-167 pet makes the problem go away_________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Is the panel tint2? And also can I get it to display certain icons and not show the most recent ones and maybe have the open ones present but then go away when I close them? Kinda like the windows7/unity docks. It looks great though! And it runs really well on my Asus 1005hab. However, I am having issues booting it on my dell dimension 8400 because of some grub errors I can't figure out.

I just run some tests with booting from usb device. USB is formated as FAT32 and I used
unetbootin in windows to create bootable Live USB. It works if you don't have savefile
or if savefile is on hard disk partition. But if you create savefile on USB after reboot it gives
kernel panic !? I don't know why would empty savefile make that problem.

It would appear that the problem is in the initrd.
Could you point out how the archpup initrd was made (in relation to puppy-clasic)?
My hunch is that the extra pup_roX somehow confuse probpart_init and/or busybox init, but would be good to know of any other (than the kernel) differences.

Regarding the initrd kernel modules it would also appear that is made differently (how?). Specifically is missing modules.*map that without udev in initrd can be problem when booting up._________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

I will add script that was used to make ArchPup initrd.gz in attachment. Original file is from
Puppy Precise, I replaced only DISTRO_SPECS and /lib/modules/*.

Looks OK.
I run some tests and is not the init script nor the kernel.
The archsave file loads OK and get the kernel panic when it tries to load the main sfs Busybox?..._________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too
